Scottishmoney Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 These sound a bit like Nagorno-Karabagh, a breakaway place that aspires to be part of Armenia and not Azerbaijan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 These are examples of the Nagorno-Karabakh banknotes I think you are talking about: They are interesting notes. I have heard, but am not certain to the truth, that these notes do not circulate there. I think someone here said that these were sold as a fundraiser for the fledgling government rather than for the government to issue to their citizens.

San_Miguel98 Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 found em! your first note is definitely the nagorno karabakhian 2 dram note. those are novelty notes ordered by and delivered to the educational coin company in new york, marketed almost exclusively on e-bay. they've been ordered to stop selling them, so you won't find them on their website anymore. http://www.eurasianet.org/departments/busi...eav090704.shtml i think the second note you're talking about belongs to bulgaria. it's listed as bulgaria p-100, 20 leva, 1994. the front portrait is of dutchess sevastokrat oritza desislava, the reverse features the boyana church, and catalog value is listed at $0.25 in uncirculated condition.
